unlocked phone but when asked to install clockworkmod i said yes then it said could not download and said it would retry, but failed and shutdown. now i cannot go into to stock recovery or rerun the unlock program to try to have it install clockworkmod. im so lost. please help. detailed instructions would help since all the other ways to put a recovery program on have failed.
What does your phone say when you're in the bootloader menu? Are you s-on or s-off?
If you're s-off with revolutionary at the top, then you need to flash the recovery image. It may be available as a zip, and you can run fastboot with it. I personally use twrp over cwm. You'll find the guide here

If you're s-on, you need to run revolutionary again.

Dude, read... You were on here last night asking these very basic questions, there are 100's of of posts regarding this. Get the TWRP zip file, rename PG86IMG, flash through bootloader.... and then READ
So I decided I want to root my EVO 3D. I have question on how to do it.
1. How can I go completely stock (S-OFF + Factory Settings) if I root?
2. How can I root on 2.3.4 (build 2.08)?
3. Will rooting cause problems to the device (make it slower or make it Force Close :O)
[I'm rooting because:
-I want the Google Talk with Voice/Video
-I want the smooth Sense NavBar http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-developed-for-jaggy-sensation-navbar/
-I want the new market
-I want the 1080p Camera Mod]
I used to have a Samsung Intercept and I rooted it.

Don't wipe /data then. But that's not advised fyi. You could backup all your apps with titanium backup, wipe everything and then once you HTC unlock, and fastboot boot recovery.img and then flash a ROM, and bootup. You then should be able to restore all your apps with titanium backup.

I want to unlock with revolutionary (not HTC's official way). Should I get temp root so i can use titanium backup to backup apps and data first?
What HBOOT version do you have?
If its 1.49.0007 or 1.49.0008, then you can root it through revolutionary and i can easily help you through every step (including getting it rooted, S-OFF, keeping all your apps and data just like they were before you rooted, etc etc)
When you root and S-OFF through revolutionary, then you will not loose any apps or anything.
If you dont have one of the above HBOOT versions, then i'm afraid i can't help you as i've done it through revolutionary (my HBOOT was .0007).
IF you have HBOOT version .0007 or .0008, then follow this guide:
1. Enable USB Debugging on your Phone.
2. Connect Phone to Computers USB.
3. Download "revolutionary-0.4pre4" from http://revolutionary.io/
4. Get Beta Key from http://revolutionary.io/
5. Download & Install "HTCDriver3.0.0.007" from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
6. Run "revolutionary.exe" from "revolutionary-0.4pre4"
7. Phone should reboot 4 times
8. Type Yes to install Clockwork Recovery Mod.
9. Download "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16651725&postcount=17
10. Copy "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned" zip file to the root of your SD Card
11. Boot into Recovery by Powering off the Phone, then powering thge phone on by holding the "Power Button and Volume Down Button"
12. Press the Volume Down button to select "Recovery" and press "Power Button" to Select. Then Choose "Install ZIP from SD", and install "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned".
13. Done (now check you have SuperUser App, maybe go get Titanium Backup)
You can also check this video that explains it very well:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smp6cT4UEKE
(Just be sure to use the download links i posted in this thread, as the SU file they linked in the video has some problems, use the one i linked instead, that works 100%).
Hopefully i helped you

I'm on a CDMA EVO 3D (Sprint)
i went into HBOOT. bad news, I'm at 1.50.0000 No way to downgrade?
Does this mean I can't root or use revolutionary?
It said **locked** not S-OFF. are they the same thing?

There is no way to downgrade but you can still root your device and flash roms. It just requires you to flash the boot.img from fastboot because your device will still have S-ON.
Do the HTC Dev Unlock
http://htcdev.com/bootloader
flash TWRP or clockword
http://teamw.in/project/twrp/67
extract just the "boot.img" from the zip file below
http://dev-host.org/fqmar8wvfh0v/Shooter_2.08.651.2_deodexed_rooted-signed.zip
wipe dalvik cache from TWRP recovery and flash the Shooter_2.08.651.2_deodexed_rooted-signed.zip
reboot into bootloader from the advance menu in TWRP and choose fastboot by using the volume up or down and power button for select
execute "fastboot flash boot file_location/boot.img" and reboot
I'm also using freeza's modified kernel, you also must extract the boot.img and flash from fastboot after flashing from recovery

Check this thread, instructions and a video. Also read post 2 of this thread for info on flashing kernels.
Unfortunately you can't use revolutionary on that hboot as of yet but you can gain root and flash roms and kernels just fine with htc's unlock method although with a couple more steps.

Is there a way without the HTC method? I heard with the HTC method contacts Sprint and Best Buy. Which means they'll have an excuse if something goes wrong that wasn't or even was because of the root?
Also with will I be able to revert back to S-OFF and factory default if I use the HTC dev method?
was i supposed to press enter after typing "Yes" ???
cause i can't access the sdcard to drop the root file (superuser) nor has it rebooted into clockwork

The HTC dev method is the only way right now if your hboot version is 1.50 and it doesn't give you s-off. It unlocks the bootloader and it does say "it may void your warranty". I don't think they can blame a hardware failure on rooting unless you brick your device or overclock it to high. Then again I guess they can do whatever they want to.

You can now unlock your rezound's bootloader at http://htcdev.com/.
Just follow the steps on htcdev.com, and at the last step you will have a factory reset. So, please make sure you do a backup before attempting this unlock trick. (Thanks to NilsP for pointing this out)
Bootloader unlock will grant perm root and possibility of flashing customized roms.
Note: S-on remains
BE AWARE:
bootloader unlock will VOID your rezound's WARRANTY, I am not responsible for any damage it may cause
[INSTRUCTIONS]:
[Prerequisites:]
HTC Sync (Windows Only)
HTC Super Tool
Enable USB Debug on Rezound
Use Charge Only mode when connected to PC
Exit HTC Sync on PC
[Steps:]
1. Go to HTCDEV website: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
2. Click on "Begin Unlock Bootloader" (create a user if you don't have one)
3. Use HTC Super Tool in the [Prerequisites] to generate your token. (Or, alternatively, follow the instructions step 1 through step 10 on htcdev.com)
4. In step 10, when posting your token, make sure you remove the blanks preceding each line
5. After you receive your Unlock_code.bin in email, follow step 11.
6. Now your rezound should reboot and you have your bootloader unlocked.
Now you are unlocked. You can follow the following threads to obtain perm root, flash recovery, flash new kernel, and overclock.
[Guide] You are Unlocked. Now What?
[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel
7. After unlocking your bootloader, use this one to get perm root:
One Click Perm Root (Thanks to NilsP)
8. Flash the recovery if you need.
[Recovery] Amon Ra style vigor
[Recovery]ClockworkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4
scrosler kindly provides a tool to flash the recovery or boot img.
You can find it here
9. Flash Deodexed ROMs:
Clean ROM 1.0 from scrosler
RezROM v1.0 Beta from lllboredlll
Questions about flashing ROMs:
Possibility of flashing ROMs (Thanks to scrosler)
To uninstall the bloatware, try ROM Toolbox
Umm
WOW ... how exactly do you do this, and more importantly, can it be re-locked if you need to do a warranty exchange?
yeah, it does not show up in the list. But you can just go and do it. The Vivid forum is saying the same happened to their model.
Dammit! I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw this post! Booo!!!
And it worked. I am now "UnLocked"
And factory reset. Forgot about that
Sooo.....
What's the deal here? We got a free pass from HTCDev?
Now we have perm root and can flash roms from stock recovery?!?

Slow your roll....All we have is the ability to write to the system partition if I understand the "unlock" properly. S-ON still prevents rewriting the recovery partition. But perm root, yes.

If you read the warning on htcdev.com it says that unlocking your phone may void certain warranty conditions. Usually if you need to return it you just put your phone back to stock or smash it on the curb and take the $50 hit in insurance ;-)

Maybe your not asking the question correctly. You say you can't see hboot or recovery. Are you trying to get the phone into bootloader? If so pull your battery put backin then hold volume down and power button. This will load into bootloader. If your just attempting to get the phone rooted then yes the tool I posted will root the phone. If your wanting to be able to change some of the permissions then you will need to install superuser. Hopefully this helps. If not maybe someone else can figure out what you are wanting to do......
I cannot see HBOOT or Recovery.
My display is not working correctly for some reason. I have flashed the stock RUU and unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit.
Now I am stuck because I cannot see the recovery screen to actually install the superuser.zip that the toolkit put onto my sdcard.
Do you see what I am saying here?
If I could simply see my HBOOT and recovery screens I would have this phone rooted in 1 minute. I am looking for a way to root manually via adv or another method because I cannot see the recovery screen to know what buttons to click.

I'm no mean an expert here but reading your frustration posts since yesterday, here's my 2 cents, you may want to try it or wait for more suggestion from others
* I've read somewhere that some "Demo" phone came with a "Demo" Rom, which, has no Hboot and Recovery
* Read this post and try to flash an ENG Hboot onto your phone. ENG Hboot for Amaze 4G can be found in the S-Off thread
* After suscessfully flashed ENG HBoot using ADB command, you can then use fastboot to flash back to stock then root normally or using AIO Toolkit again to flash custom Recovery

* Read this post and try to flash an ENG Hboot onto your phone. ENG Hboot for Amaze 4G can be found in the S-Off thread
* After suscessfully flashed ENG HBoot using ADB command, you can then use fastboot to flash back to stock then root normally or using AIO Toolkit again to flash custom Recovery

Ignore this please, since ENG Hboot can only be flash when S-Off'ed. I really have no worthy suggested at this point and sorry for that

There is a tool called Android Flasher (Google it) which you can use to flash Hboot onto your phone. As for the Hboot I think you can pulled it out from Stock RUU using 7Zip. Once you have Hboot on the phone, the rest will be easy. I think maybe your phone was a Demo one, which, unfortunately doesn't come with Hboot and Recovery hence the reason it doesn't "update" Hboot and Recovery when flashing RUU
I have already flashed an RUU which completed successfully. Would this stock RUU still not flash HBOOT on my phone?
I am using the phone to type this.
I can power off and then hold vol down and power and the phone will do flash a red notification light up top. If I press down volume once then power it will reboot but I of course only see a.black screen.

No it wont change it. It can only be changed after s-off. I would try to s-off. Jbear gives the option to flash a different hboot at the end of a successful s-off. Then hopefully you can finally get this thing rolling.
Definately will.
I thought root was a prereq for s off though. I'll be trying it anyways.

It's good to know that you are - at least - still have a Rom on your phone.
I think the reason why you don't have HBoot and recovery when flashing RUU is because what RUU does is just "updating" whatever img that your phone has on it and when it didn't detected Hboot and recovery, it just skipped updating those img. Long story short, I guess you are lacking HBoot and recovery on your phone. We may simply solv this by flashing stock Hboot and recovery onto the phone using tool such as Android Flasher. Again, I'm no expert on this and has never tried this before so take it with a grain of salt and do some research before give it a go, or, you can wait a little longer to get others' opinion. I don't want to be the one who bricked your phone by giving poor advices.
Be patient, at least you have a fully functional phone for now.
I edited this out...
Good luck

I cannot see HBOOT or Recovery.
My display is not working correctly for some reason. I have flashed the stock RUU and unlocked the bootloader via the toolkit.
Now I am stuck because I cannot see the recovery screen to actually install the superuser.zip that the toolkit put onto my sdcard.
Do you see what I am saying here?
If I could simply see my HBOOT and recovery screens I would have this phone rooted in 1 minute. I am looking for a way to root manually via adv or another method because I cannot see the recovery screen to know what buttons to click.

Now I totally understand... I think . Never have heard of this happening or have read where someone has lost the bootloader but yet phone still boots. There is the command with Hasoon's Amaze tool that will put your phone in the bootloader screen. If your still not able to view if you have tried this then hopefully someone else might have an answer for you as I have no other ideas to get you into the bootloader screen and making it visable. Good luck!

There's probably some soft which can flash ZIP from sd commencing this from Android and then completing what is needed inside Recovery automatically..

I already told you how to get root in your other thread using 4ext recovery app.
Also, you don't need to root to flash a different rom.
Just do what i said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38165221

hboot screen looks like this...
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
the screen starts with the "bootloader" already selected...push volume down
1 time to select reboot
2 times to select reboot bootloader..etc etc...
push power to MAKE/activate the selection.
4ext recovery is touch based and since you cant see you may want to install clockwork mod from the market as you use the volume buttons for this too!
but i dont use it...(but i have! on this phone!! I just dont know how good it works reliable flashing etc)
maybe get a spare sd card and format it so we all know its blank.
then place the right file on the card
so we know its the only file
then you can count the volume clicks to the right choices.
heres hope for you buddy!... my suspicions are as follows.
flashing a different hboot using
the linked hassoons toolkit then CWM then a reboot may return your screen to power on during the times you need it...
BUT BUT BUT!!!!
i do not know if that is advisable or bad or perfectly fine...anyone else know?????
Ok... so I have unlocked my boot-loader, what do I need to do to root my phone?
I am not S-off yet, do I need to be S-off before root is possible?

You don't need S-Off to root. Since you've already unlocked the bootloader, I suggest using this program to flash a custom recovery (ex TWRP or Philz) then select perm root. The application guides you through most of it. If you need more help with the program itself, check the main thread or one of the support links in the program.

That's the tool i used to unlock BL. I just wasn't sure what the exact steps for Root were. Which Recovery is the most stable of the 2? I'm most familiar with TWRP but if the alternate option is more stable then I will go that route.

I usually run with TWRP, but both recoveries are stable. If you look in the roms section, most require Philz recovery so if you want to flash roms I would go with that. And here is a link from the program that shows a step by step process of unlocking and rooting. Just skip the unlocking portion

So I installed TWRP and I'm rooting now. What's the best way to update TWRP to the latest version. It installed 2.7.0.2 and I'd Like to install 2.7.0.4

Grab the img from the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2695709
Then you need to use fastboot to flash recovery. Hold shift and right click the data folder of the toolkit. Select open command window from here. Then type commands listed below in order.
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(rename twrp img to this)
fastboot reboot

Hey btw I really appreciate all the help you've provided me. Might not be rooted right now without it. I do have one more question, what are the benefits of S-off?

S-Off allows write permissions to the firmware, radio, and bootloader partitions. Some roms, like the GPE ones I believe, require S-Off, but most stock sense roms do not. You can also sim unlock with S-Off. Those are the primary uses, but someone feel free to chime in if I missed something. This is my 3rd day with the M8 lol
There's also this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2718626
twrp 2702 from official site is newer that the 2704 unofficial. grab img from official site
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
IF all your wanting to do is flash roms then no need for s-off...if just learning and are leary of a brick stay safe with s-on....Theres always a chance when messing with partitions that are locked with s-on
S-Off is good for preventing brick in some situations, of course people still manage to brick their phones with s off, but to achieve S-Off you have to be familiar with adb and fastboot commands. If you required the toolkit for root, ie you do not know how to use adb and fastboot commands, I wouldn't recommend doing it until you are familiar with that. There are several guides, take some time to read and you should have a good start.
